FDI in retail at this juncture -- complementary measures

The government's decision to allow foreign direct investment in the business of retail distribution of produce is welcome. Right now, it remains a token of the government's ability to make a rational choice defying Opposition clamour.

This is, indeed, valuable.

However, for the proposed liberalisation to have any impact on the ground, this needs to be seen.

Organised retail will precipitate a whole lot of manufacturing FDI by small labels, who can produce quality stuff but lack the financial muscle to build a distribution network on their own. These, too, will produce additional jobs, incomes and consumer choice. Some small shops will be displaced in the bigger towns, but new organised jobs will be created. The overall social gains far outweigh the costs.

The move is emphatically welcome.

Cheers !!!

And the journey called life continues…

Just when one feel that it can’t get better than this, at that very point god reminds us that he’s the supreme power with stamped authority and one needs to accept it rather than pondering over it.

Today I feel that I too learnt the similar lesson but then as one grows old [‘n’ hopefully wise :P too], I have the courage to accept it with a smile beneath which lies a big heart to reinforce
it.

Assimilate it, feel it ‘n’ move on is the name of the game in contemporary times.

And yeah its kindaa difficult but then when one’s mind decides to do something, half of the battle is already won & as I learnt from my father, its never too late to make a start and put in your best effort and I am up for it man.

Well if the above stuff is too much of an abstraction to you, I would say that I have deliberately kept it that way [without the background context] to keep certain feelings in check. If you didn’t understand every bit of it, let me affirm that the onus lied on me & not always “human beings” live up to expectations.

Keep exploring your potential.

Cheers !!!
